Product description

The multicolored flashlights measure about 6 inches in length, and are made of translucent plastic with a black cord attached at the end. "Halo Burger" is written on the side of the flashlight. "Made in China" is printed on a gold-colored label on the bottom of the flashlight. The two "AA" batteries included with the flashlight are labeled "Spadelove Ultra" and are black with a bronze top band.
